I know you're sad, and so am I. Unfortunately I don't have an explanation. I didn't make the decision to end new posts -- but the good news is all that information (YAFI's, suggestions, etc.) will stay.

Here's what I do know:

You guys are a great community.
I've seen threads about new or existing websites to maintain the community.
I've noticed people posting their email addresses -- as long as there's no last name or other identifying information in there, I'll let them through.
Be part of the solution -- you still have a week to go!

One more thing: I haven't been told about future games or expansions, but keep checking www.zootycoon.com for info or updates.

I've really enjoyed being part of the community. You're smart, talented and great writers. Keep it up!

New Signature Image for the Moderator

TeamCrab — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:12:43 GMT

Hello all,

I'm seeing an increase in the number of signature images that are far too large. Oversized Signature images clutter the board and can make it hard to read long threads. I also notice that I, your favorite moderator, do not have a signature image of my own.

Therefore, if any of you out there who make signature images would care to make one for me, I'll use one of them.

Requirements:

Not deeper than about 5 lines of text (about 500 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall)

Contains the text "This is the largest permitted size for a Signature Image. If your Signature Image is larger, it may be deleted by the Moderators."

Send me the image in a PM.
